Course Design
Instructor-led format improves user success.

and skills application to ensure that learners acquire relevant and directly
applicable workplace knowledge and skills.
The course format includes the following:

Demonstrations and hands-on individual exercises
••
Facilitated group exercises
••
Activities and problem-solving scenarios that encourage peer-to-peer learning
“The information presented
and the delivery of content
were relevant to real-world
applications. Great to participate
in a classroom environment with
discussion about scenarios and
questions, allowing feedback and
collaboration.”

Interactive learning is a proven approach that works well in both traditional and
online classrooms. In an Esri instructor-led online course, learners participate
in small group activities in virtual breakout rooms, including writing on group
whiteboards, chatting, polling, and probing. Learners can interact with each other
and the instructor during class demonstrations and exercises. Instructors can even
shadow learners’ computers to monitor progress during individual exercises or to
check in on groups and facilitate discussion.
High-caliber instructors are committed to learner success.
All Esri instructors have achieved Esri technical certification and CompTIA CTT+
certification. CompTIA CTT+ is an international certification that covers core
instructor skills, including preparation, presentation, communication, facilitation,
and evaluation, in both a traditional and online classroom environment.
Esri instructors have the flexibility to adapt how they present course material
based on the audience composition, skill level, and professional interests of each
class. The course format stretches their creativity and teaching skills in a way that’s
exciting and beneficial for learners.
